This is a collection of Pratchett's stories written for the [[Uncle Jim|''Bucks Free Press'']], "as a teenager, mostly as they were first printed, although the grown-up me has tinkered just a ''little'' with a few fine details - the odd tweak here, a pinch there, and a little note at the bottom where needed, and all because the younger me wasn't as clever then as he turned out to be."

This is a collection of Pratchett's stories written for the Bucks Free Press, "as a teenager, mostly as they were first printed, although the grown-up me has tinkered just a little with a few fine details - the odd tweak here, a pinch there, and a little note at the bottom where needed, and all because the younger me wasn't as clever then as he turned out to be."
